The only possible way to know would be for you to try it. It all depends on which features you use. For example, I know for a fact that the login/logout templates, which have been changed with stk 1.4.x, will break with form module 1.1. Others might still work. Have you considered using form 1.2 for multi-step ? Are your extensions that different from what we've done ? If so - can you provide some details ? It might be interesting to see how such things could be migrated. As for the validation - if anything, it should be simpler/more flexible now. And if not, we'd love to improve this too. Can you provide some examples of where it would be difficult for you to upgrade to 1.2 ? That's why open-source is great: I'm sure your extensions/improvements would be extremely useful to others too, and could have been integrated in the product by now. You should consider contributing them ;) Cheers, -g ---------------------------------------------------------------- For list details see http://www.magnolia-cms.com/home/community/mailing-lists.html To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <[email protected]> ----------------------------------------------------------------
